Another Fun Day Of Real Estate And A View Of The Cove At 4670 Enota Court On Lake Lanier!

We had another fun day today in our real estate work at Lake Lanier. For most of the morning I was out at 4670 Enota Court in Gainesville. We just put this property under contract with our buyer and today was inspection day at the property.

We started the day meeting with Shane Gauthier from BPG Inspections and John Davis with Arrow Exterminators. They gave us a thorough inspection of the property. Overall we visited for about two and a half hours as we got updates on all the aspects and condition of the home.

After the inspection, I am happy to report that we were able to visit with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lake Lanier office to get an update on the status of the dock permit at the property. As many of you may know, the Shoreline Management Department at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is now only open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Because of budget cutbacks they are limited in staff, and they are limited on times when they are open. Nonetheless, we were able to meet with our friend, Jack Taylor, who is a ranger in the Shoreline Management Division. He gave us all the information that we needed in order to be prepared for a potential dock re-permit in my client's name. We were able to look at sophisticated satellite imagery of the shoreline and of the dock presently located at the property. Jack provided all of the details that we needed, and it was a great visit.

Even though I was busy with the inspection at the property earlier today, I managed a few moments to walk down to the shoreline at 4670 Enota Court. I took a few photos of the cove as it looked this morning. The scenery was just beautiful and very calm. I suspect this is a wonderful protected Cove for swimming and for fishing!  It looked very inviting this morning with water that was just a perfect emerald green!  Enjoy a look at the photos!

Dining At Skogies At Gainesville Marina! A Picnic Under The Trees With A View Of The Boat Slips!

Last week, I was able to take the SeaRay out for lunch on Lake Lanier on a couple of occasions.  One of those outings was a lunch stop at Skogies, which is located at Gainesville Marina.  We've dined outside under the trees at Skogies on a number of occasions.  The food is the big draw at Skogies, and as waterfront dining on Lake Lanier stacks up, Skogies delivers consistently good food.  I really enjoy the fish tacos and my wife always likes the Grouper fingers.  When you bring man's best friend, you'll be dining at the tables in the shade just outside the restaurant.  That was the case for us last week.  Here's a shot of my lake navigator, Beignet, as she waits for a few table scraps.

Beignet loves the picnic area and food at Skogies at Gainesville Marina!

As we waited on delivery of our order, I played around with the video camcorder on my phone.  Here is a short 180 degree video of the view from under the trees at the picnic tables at Skogies in Gainesville.

Our Closing Today On One Of Lake Lanier's Most Scenic Waterfront Homes In Cumming! View The Photos Of This Perfect Lake Getaway!

Today, we completed the sale on this charming lakefront cottage located on Linger Longer Road in Cumming, just three miles from Georgia Hwy. 400. This property was situated on an exceptional deep water lot on the south end of Lake Lanier. The home was fully renovated and expanded in 2005. An additional $70,000+ upgrades were added since 2011.  This wonderful Lake Lanier home included two master suites, one on the main and another on the terrace level. There was also an additional bedroom on the main. It featured three completely renovated full baths.

As you can see, from the photos below, this property had fabulous year-round lake views on both levels! It also included three incredible decks with fantastic water views! There was even a detached two-car garage, making it very suitable as a full-time residence! 

With a short, gentle path to the water, grass to water's edge and a location on a quiet no-ski cove this was an unbelievable acquisition. The property included an oversized single slip dock with party deck, boat lift, electrical power, lighting, a premium 10+ year dock surface coating, and many more features! This was indeed a rare find and an exceptional value on the south end of Lake Lanier! These trophy properties do not come along often! We were very fortunate and very excited about assisting our clients in the purchase of this incredible Lake Lanier property!

We would love the opportunity to assist you in finding your Lake Lanier dream home! Please contact us to start your Lake Lanier home search!

A Few Photos Of Athens Boat Club On Lake Lanier...The New Pavilion Is Looking Great!

Last week, we headed to Athens Boat Club on Lake Lanier to top off the SeaRay with a bit of fuel.  As we approached the gas dock by water, a new structure appeared.  It was the beautiful new pavilion!  WOW! What a spacious facility with a large, covered outdoor meeting and dining area, restrooms, and covered vending machines.  The new building overlooks the lake and is a very nicely built structure.  Congratulations to the residents of this community for the planning and development of this project.  It is very nice! Checkout the photos of Athens Boat Club's new pavilion!
